If you can get you're PPP working fine, generally all you nead to do is make sure packet-forwarding is enabled in rc.conf and enable NAT/on-demand dialing in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Take a look around, and let us know if you need any more help. Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walter "Weaseal" Venable" To: Sent: Friday, June 22, 2001 1:30 AM Subject: Connection Sharing I am setting up a small home network which needs to share a connection, and I would like to do this through FreeBSD. I was reading through the documentation and could not find any sections on how to use FreeBSD as a connection-sharing server, although I'm sure I likely missed it due to my small BSD-vocabulary. If you could send me a link, or point me in the right direction as to where I can get such help, I would greatly appreciate it.
